Avaada and Casale Collaborate on 1,500 TPD Green Ammonia Plant in Odisha

In a major step towards sustainable energy, Avaada Group has joined hands with Casale to develop a 1,500 tonnes per day (TPD) green ammonia plant in Gopalpur, Odisha. The collaboration aims to utilize renewable energy sources and advanced ammonia production technology to create a carbon-free process for ammonia production. This project is not only a significant move for India’s clean energy sector but also highlights Avaada’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions in industrial processes.

What Is the Green Ammonia Project About?

The green ammonia plant will be located in Gopalpur, Odisha, a region known for its growing renewable energy capabilities. The facility will produce 1,500 TPD of green ammonia, a substance used in fertilizers and other industrial applications. The entire plant will be powered by 100% renewable energy, further reducing its environmental impact.

Casale, a global leader in ammonia production technology, will provide its Green Ammonia Process License. They will also offer the Basic Engineering Package, Proprietary Equipment, and conduct the Detailed Engineering Review. This partnership ensures that the plant will be using the best technology available to produce ammonia without relying on fossil fuels.

Why Is This Project Important for India?

India has set ambitious goals to reduce its carbon emissions and transition to a greener economy. This project is a part of that broader initiative, as it aims to replace the traditional fossil fuel-based ammonia production methods with cleaner, renewable energy-powered alternatives. By reducing the carbon footprint of ammonia production, this collaboration will contribute to India’s leadership in clean energy solutions.

Moreover, Casale has now licensed a total green ammonia capacity of 5,700 TPD in India, signaling the growing importance of ammonia in sustainable energy solutions. The success of this project could serve as a model for other industrial processes across the country, helping India meet its sustainability targets.

What Are the Recent Developments for Avaada Group?

Avaada Group has been making strides in securing financing for its renewable energy projects. In January 2025, the company secured Rs 85 billion in financing and refinancing for nine projects under various business divisions, including utility-scale solar, agrivoltaic under PM-KUSUM, merchant power, and solar module manufacturing. The funds have come from a mix of public-sector banks like SBI and Union Bank, as well as multinational lenders such as Standard Chartered, Axis Bank, and Tata Capital.

This financial support positions Avaada Group for continued growth in the renewable energy sector, enabling it to expand its footprint in clean energy solutions across India. The partnership with Casale is just one of many initiatives by Avaada to promote sustainability and reduce India’s reliance on fossil fuels.
